Answer:
5730 years
Explanation:
The half life of carbon-14 is 5730 years. If 50% of the carbon-14 remains, then exactly 1 half life has passed.
The half-life equation is:
A = A₀ (½)^(t / T)
where A is the remaining amount,
A₀ is the initial amount,
t is time,
and T is the half life.
In this case, A = ½ A₀ and T = 5730.
½ A₀ = A₀ (½)^(t / 5730)
½ = (½)^(t / 5730)
1 = t / 5730
t = 5730
